How to trap mosquitos? (Part 1)




Gosh 31 Mar was my last post.
Away from bloggin for so long.
难道是到了瓶颈???
哈哈!

I am back.
Sorry to some of my faithful readers for the hiatus.

Latest scare is the mosquito, taking one life.
I've tried mosquito spray.
They doesn't work tat perfect.
Other than anti-mosquito spray,
is there any ways to eliminate those pest?


Online there is this eccentric method tat I would like to share...





Method:
A mix of water, brown sugar and yeast. (sounds easy and cheap)
1) Cut a plastic bottle in half, keep both parts. Can be soft drink bottle.
2) Take the lower portion of the bottle. Dissolve the brown sugar in hot water. Let it cool down to room temperature.
3) Add yeast. Carbon dioxide will form and will attract the mosquitos.
3) Cover the bottle with a dark wrap and insert in the top portion upside down like a funnel. Place it in a corner in your hse.
4) in 2 weeks you will be surprised by the number of mosquitos killed.


有影吗???

I decided to test it out myself... because this method sounds easily cheap.

Bought the items @supermarket.



The items



 Left: brown sugar, Right: Dissolved in water


As instructed, I dissolved the brown sugar,
cut a bottle,
added yeast.
It gave a mild odour.
Like someone farted.

Then I used black trash bag to cover the bottle.

Do u tink this cheap method will work??

Frankly I have doubts.
How can a concoction trap mosquito?
Will it work??
Ans will reveal soon in my next blog...
